Franco's Troops Are Rated Good Fighters In Spite Of Low Pay
ai : . eee

The Moorish guard, classed as Spain’s most loyal troops, parade down a

By HARRY LUND
(CPC Correspondent)

MADRID, Spain, — This problem
country of Western European defense
could provide several divisions for
Atlantic Pact aid but in the present
international situation no such call
may be made to the only nation in
non-Soviet Europe which is prepared,
able and willing to fight the growing
menace of communism,

Rumors in Madrid have it that
Spain may be asked for 60,000 men
to defend Europe. This would be a
small contribution for Iberia — even
though its population is only 28 mil-
lion—but Franco is a shrewd bar-
gainer; he is stronger than ever and
smarts under five years of political
isolation,

Spain’s greatest strength is its
army and the country has long op-
posed communism, This and Spain’s
geographical isolation may explain
the paradox of it being a land where
nobody fears a European war even
when the rest of the world may be
preparing for it.

Many North Americans here hope
their country will turn to Spain for
military aid, though they realize get-
ting it would be difficult. The Span-
jards are among Europe's best fight-
ers. Today the country has 700,000
men under arms and can—according
to a Franco public statement—put
2,500,000 men in field.

Iberia has always been @ war-like
country and once the Spanish fought
all over Europe. When her colonies
were lost she declined; the recent
civil war also hurt the country. Yet
Spain's defenses are strong today and
are founded on compulsory military
training established in 1912.

Now the differences between Brit-
ish, U.S. and Spanish military forces
are due to culture and geography
but one fact is striking: all soldiers
in Spain are poorly paid, They do
not grumble, however. Enlisted men
earn almost nothing and officers get
less than professional men,

Recruits get only a penny daily
and while a sergeant is paid $15
monthly he must pay for his food
and quarters. In Madrid soldiers
earn spending money by selling their
tobacco ration on the black market.
They get longevity too but only a
higher NCO can afford to stay in the
army.

Officers are also poorly paid for a

$5 more monthly than a sergeant. A
colonel gets about $40 per month—
depending on the length of service—
but officers also receive family and
quarters allowances. Yet even a
Spanish general hardly lives in style.

Despite this, the adventurous Span-
jiard makes a good soldier, The army
is mainly composed of recruits called
up every February but colonial
troops, the Legion and the Moorish
Guards contain about 80,000 “regu-
lars’, The average NCOs fall into
this class and they sign up for three
years,

Spanish military organization,
going back to medieval times, has
been modernized by a succession of
wars. Today Spain has nine military
districts, plus two more in Spanish
Morocco. Each district has two divi-
sions or more.

Peninsular divisional strength va-
ries between 7,000 and 10,000 men.
Each has two brigades which, in
turn, have two infantry and a light
artillery regiment. An _ engineer’s
battalion, communication, sanitation
and finance units fill out the division.
Spain has armored, mechanized cav-
alry and mountain divisions.

Company or similar units in the
Spanish army have 100 men, Admin-
istration is regimental. Commanders
draw money for rations and are re-
sponsible for other allowances. In
actual combat this function is as-
signed to higher authority.

The state has perfected the re-
cruiting system and draft-dodgers
hardly exist in Spain. The law pro-
vides that men cannot work without
showing documentation on their mili-
tary service, nor are passports given
to those who have not served in the
army.

Soldiers seen on Spanish city
streets are not as well dressed as
those in the United States but they
are given excellent training. When
their 40-day basic training is over
they are sworn into the army and
given a month furlough. Then they

ing, cavalry, infantry and artillery

Foreign military experts claim
Spain needs modern arms. Even to-
day various types of artillery are
used in the Spanish army — French,
Russian and German—and the prob-
lem of co-ordination is great. The
standard infantry small arm is the
German Mauser, 7 or 9 mm. Both
are bolt action.

The navy and air force also have
separate ministries; both services
are trying to modernize, While this
is not easy in a country which lacks
many basic materials, Spain has
launched a long-range program of
ship building. The Spanish navy de-
fends an extended coast line and
mainly has small, fast boats.

one-quarter of a cord,
This managed woodland, which

was a virtual wasteland when taken
over by the forest service of the pro-
vincial department of mines and nat-
ural resources, has since produced
tens of thousands of poles for rural

electrification throughout the prov-
ince,

Along with fuelwood, lumber, rail-
way ties and other items, the value

of forest products taken from this
reserve is approaching the $6,000,000
mark.

Although the natural growth of
trees in the Sandilands is replacing
all this, assistance is being given to
some degree by tree planting in areas
where natural regeneration would be
slow or impossible.

In the seed beds at the Sandilands
tree nursery at present are 251,000
one-year-old jackpines, grown from
seed, these tiny seedlings look more
like long grass at first glance and
cover an area about the same size
as the average backyard.

In one of the seed beds, measuring
four by 12 feet, are 18,756 would-be
trees from two to four inches in
height.

So far this year Dave Cooper and
using modern planting ma-
chines, have placed close to 180,000
trees in what will be their permanent
locations until they are ready to cut

in years to come. About another
100,000 will be planted this fall if
proper conditions prevail.

In addition to this planting job,
250,000 one-year seedlings have been
transplanted to the tree nursery
where they will stay for one or two

years before final planting

Seeds for the jackpine, red pine

cones are purchased at so much per

Don't Overlook Hitting Practice

Strange to say, even though prac-
tically every ball player is most at-

tracted to the hitting part of base-
ball and nearly every coach and
manager realizes the great impor- }

tance of hitting, research shows that}

the average ball player team
doesn't spend much actual time prac-
ticing this all-important phase of the
game.

A recent study of practice habits
indicates that about 70 per cent. of
practice is spent on fielding practice.
According to experts this is not the
ideal system.

When the question “How much of

or

the practice session should be turned |
put |

over to hitting practice?” was
to major league managers, most of
them said at least half, and a few
figured 70 per cent. Such experts as
Bert Dunne who is now considered
the best scientific baseball skill-de-
veloping expert in the United States,
figure that at least 75 per cent. of
practice time should be Spent work-
ing on hitting. This is particularly
true when the player or team. con-
cerned is young because bad batting

habits acquired when young are ex-
tremely difficult to change later on.
Sports College has found that the
best plan is to use about 75 per cent.
of the time on hitting practice for
the first third of the season. From |
then on, this should be cut to about
50 per cent. unless the hitting is
weak.

Alberta Indians
Benefit By
Oil Industry

CALGARY, — It is doubtful if
Alberta's mushrooming oil in-
dustry has meant more to 006

one than the province's 14,0
Indians.

Sale and lease of lands on Indian
reserves to oil companies have pro-
vided the Indians with sufficient capi-
tal to undertake on their own initia-
tive extensive development programs
aimed at eventual economic inde-
pendence and social maturity.

Funds accumulated by tribes
through land leases and sales have
removed from the federal govern-
ment much of the financial burden
which reserves and administration of
treaty Indians once made.

Today the governnient’s financial
obligation to the Indians is limited
to educational, medical and adminis-
tration costs.

This year the Alberta tribes are
budgeting for expenditures totalling
about $750,000—all of it their own
money. This is administered by the
government, which approves spend+
ing recommended by the tribes’
councillors.

Most of the amount is derived
from interest on capital held in a
reserve trust for the tribes by the
government,

A small portion of the money is
distributed directly among tribal
members, in much the same manner
as treaty money.

The rest is spent on improvements
for farms, medical care, relief for
aged Indians and a number of other
items which bring a degree of inde-
pendence to the Indians.

What this new source of income
means for the tribes is best learned
by examining the budget of the
Blackfoot tribe, largest in Alberta.

In the budget, the tribe estimated
$11,870 for staff and general expens-
es; $54,000 for operating costs; $336,-
800 for health and welfare; $6,420
for relief; $33,815 for direct distribu-
tion; $12,100 for development (new
stock, road repairs, irrigation); $14,-
100 for fencing, building mainte-
nance, light, fuel and telephone bills,
and water wells.

Another $122,277 was budgetted in
lieu of beef rations, which the gov-
ernment gave until recently, This
final item will be used for purchase
of food staples.

Such a broad budget was impos-
sible when the government carried
the whole load. Now, the department
of Indian affairs seeks to educate the
|Indians to use this money wisely.
| With the sustained financial stabil-
lity of the tribes becoming a definite
| possibility, the department hopes now
to inculeate in the Indians a desire
|to become responsible individual citi-
|zens capable of operating independ-
lent of one another.

|A solution has been found,

| This solution is the brain child of
a Winnipegger named John Dalstrom,
}and he has expounded it in a booklet
titled “A milder climate for Canada
|and how to get it.”

| Briefly, Mr. Dalstrom believes that
|the Prairies get most of their cold
|weather because the West winds
|from the Pacific get chilled off “from
the ice and snow clad mountain tops
}of the Rockies” and from the high
altitude (“where the air is colder the
higher you get’) to which the winds
jare pushed by these same Rockies.
That being the case, writes Mr.
|Dalstrom, the thing to do is to drop
some atom bombs on the Rockies
jand “cut down some hundreds of ice
}and snow tops of mountains in Brit-
‘ish Columbia and further north,”

So there’s the solution, A few
atom bombs on the Rockies and Re-
gina gardens will be busting out all

will wave in Wascana park, And all

come to Saskatchewan to finish their

By JOHN T. KIERAN

WAS a reporter at the time. And

when I read about “The Man's”
passing in an eastern city lately it
brought all those days back to me,
At that time he wasn’t the overlord
of the underworld he later became,
being then a small operator. Nordy,
his real name was, but when he got
to the top he became known simply

as “The Man”, and everyone knew
who was meant. He was it. Ruth-
less, brainy, he controlled rackets

like a yardmaster controls traffic.

I was standing near him, the two
of us alone in a tiny speakeasy one
night, when Heely, a henchman,
rushed in, his black eyes snapping.
“Chief, they got another load! They
took every drop.”

Nordy’s face flamed. ‘The second
this week! What's wrong with this
mob? Didn’t they even fight back?”

“It would have been lead for ‘em
if they did. They was outnumbered.
The hi-jackers had the drop on ’em
before they knew what it was all

about. Can’t blame the boys too
much, You know what resistance
would of meant.”

“Blame ‘em,’ Nordy growled.

“Blame ‘em for being the punks they
are?” He turned to me, not caring
who overheard his words or that I
was a newspaper man, “If I could
get twelve fast, smart guys I could
make us all rich in six months. But
here I’ve lost more this week than
I'll make in two. But punks or not,
Heely,” turning to the other, “Some-
one is selling us out. Those jackers
pull their stuff too neatly not to have
been tipped; they know just when
and where to do it. Who was drivin’
that truck?”

“Andrea. They came out of a side
road at him onto that narrow slab
pavement near Farmingham and
forced him into the ditch.
got back with the empty truck.”

“Andrea, that dumb egg!—But you
know, lately I’ve been thinkin’ he
ain’t half as dumb as he lets on. I
think he’s the guy that’s sellin’ out
on us. How did those gorillas know
just when and where he was comin’
along at the one place where they
ceuld easily ditch him?”

“] don’t know. And this is the
first truck we've sent over this new
route, too. Thompson was along, but
of course he’s all right. And I had
the truck all decked up on top with
furniture so’s no one would suspect
what it carried. Someone'd have to
know just what truck to be lookin’
for."”

“‘Well, we'll

find out about Mr.
said grimly. “I never

did think that was his real name,
anyway. And this ain't the first
load he’s lost himself. If he's playin’
us double he’s gonna go on @ one-
way. Listen, You try to sound him
out, Try to get him to double-cross
the gang. If he proves to be what

we think he is—well, I always said

ri get the straight on him, all
right,” Heely declared.

Nordy thought for a moment, I've

tonight, You couldn’t have a better
opportunity to try out our little
scheme. You and him take it out—

even if you do come back alone.”

I sidled out of the place at that.
But of course it was on my beat and
I was in the next day. And from
what I picked up here is what hap-
pened after Nordy and Heely had
been talking. Why didn’t I go to the
police, you ask? Why should 1? And
besides, what did I have, really? But
anyhow here’s the way I got it.

That night Heely and Andrea left
with a load in a truck that apparent-

ly carried two farmers anxious to
get their load of created chickens
to market early. As they went

along Heely talked freely to the taci-
turn Andrea, tryin to draw him out,
Was the fellow suspicious?

After they were more than half
way to Easton he exclaimed: “Say,
I don’t blame them hi-jackers, Man!
there'd be a lot of money in it, get-
tin’ the stuff for nothin’ and sellin’
it for regular prices.”

“Uh huh,”

“Listen,” confidentially, “Some-
body would make money by hi-jack-
in’ this car right now , . . More'n we
make in months workin’ for Nordy.”

“Nordy’s a hard guy.”

“Oh—he's dumb. Say, you an’ me
could make a good haul by ditchin’
this stuff and tellin’ Nordy we were
hi-jacked. We would shoot a few
holes in the truck and he'd never
know it wasn’t a real job.”

“Huh?”

“Sure! We could sell it later. I've
got friends who'd give us good prices

for it in a minute.” Heely looked at
the other in the dim light as they
drove along.

“Nordy wouldn't believe
drea said finally.

Heely laughed. “How's he gonna
help himself? Isn't it happening
every night?”

“Let's get this straight. You want
to hide the stuff and say we were hi-
jacked, Then we'll come back for
the stuff later and sell it?”

“That's the story!”

“How do you know those people
will buy it from us without tellin’
Nordy what we done?”

Heely chuckled, “Haven't I sold
‘em enough stuff before this to know
they won't let out a word about it?”

Two hours later there was a knock
on the door of Nordy's “office”.

“Come in!” he growled.

That's the word from O. B. Moore and E. S. Ferguson, co-owners

owners say business is booming.
